Hello, I’m Alec McPike.

I’m a writer, professional scuba diver, and U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Primarily, though, I am an advocate for kindness, empathy, mindful living, and the mass improvement of mental health.

I have a BA in journalism (with an outside concentration in psychology) from Pepperdine University.

And in my free time I enjoy books, yoga, coffee, travel, and the great outdoors. I’m also working on my first book.

I grew up in rural Washington State, then lived for many years in Hawaii and Southern California. Currently, I live in Stockholm, Sweden—and yes, I miss the sun.

Thanks for reading!
